Fanny, nurse on board

Métiers TRansversaux

My tasks and activities

“The position of on-board nurse requires versatility. My activities are very varied. My first mission is the consultation under the responsibility of the doctor. I take care of the passengers but also the crew (in connection with the occupational medicine). I follow the sanitary control on board. I regularly check the stocks, the emergency bags, and the proper functioning of the laboratory and radiology equipment that I must know how to handle. I ensure the psychological well-being of the passengers and crew. I also participate in excursions to ensure the safety of the passengers and finally I participate in the financial and administrative management of the on-board hospital.”
